Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 450 grams ground chicken
  • 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
  • 60 grams breadcrumbs
  • 15 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 60 millilitres whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 25 grams grated mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, beaten egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly.
  3. Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk and gently mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is uniform and cohesive without overworking it.
  4. Shape Meatloaves: Divide the mixture evenly into four portions. Shape each portion into a compact mini loaf and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Add Toppings: Drizzle each mini loaf with extra virgin olive oil. If desired, sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Bake the meatloaves in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until they are golden on top and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) to ensure they are safely cooked.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring moistness.

Notes

  • For best texture, avoid overmixing the meat mixture to maintain tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness and avoid overcooking.
  • If preferred, substitute whole milk with a lactose-free alternative.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit cheeses and replace breadcrumbs with gluten-free crumbs, adjusting the diet accordingly.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
